It's interesting, also, hearing the extent of the potential of KERS. I can imagine a "Renault Startup system" type scenario where you find particular teams who are using KERs are able to pull off crazy overtaking moves whilst others are somewhat disadvatanged without.

The top edges of the nose seem to be very "shaped". Looks like an attempt to guide the airflow woithout using winglets. Ferrari-like vanes on the front of the sidepod with mirrors. Low and long. Higher nose. Low engine cover and exhaust well to the rear.

I recall reading that AFCA said that the RB5 would/could have an engine cover at the rear joined to the floor plate in a different way.

First thought was Renaults pancake cover covering the rear suspension, then I thought, maybe we'd see something even further along these lines like Newey designing a big round moulded rear end like a porsche 911 or something!

We shall see. The vid above looks exactly like the FIA directive/restrictions on '09 car shapes apart from the concave bonnet.

Meat and potatoes.

The real gains will come from the now competitive 'reliable' engine. Remember what happened when the RB4-STR got one of those! wow.

Look at the new RB5 the exhaust cannot be seen coming out of the top of the rear end , where are the exhaust?? it looks different to the other cars so far released have Red Bull put the exhaust under the car or something??

You can just see one of the exhausts one the right hand side of Webbos car just below the rear wing elements - they certainly are a long way back compared to most of the other cars we've seen so far.
